Lactation Room for Students and Staff

GRCC supports students and staff who have a need for lactation accommodations. Two options are available for those who wish to take advantage of GRCC lactation rooms. Cook Hall has a private, secure, RaiderCard only accessible room; to gain access, you will simply need a one-time activation of your RaiderCard. This can be accomplished by contacting Jodie Boelens in the Health Sciences Resource and Tutorial Lab, 401 – Cook Academic Hall. The preferred method of contact for this purpose is through GRCC email at jboelens@grcc.edu or by phone at (616) 234-4320.

Additionally, Sneden Hall on the DeVos campus has a lactation room across from Sneden 106; it does not require RaiderCard authorization, but may be locked from the inside when in use.

Any questions about the lactation accommodations can be directed to Kimberly DeVries, GRCC Title IX Coordinator, at 616-234-2120.
